This is my favorite non-album song of hers. I'll always remember the show in Duluth, MN where she played it. The guy I was sitting next to (a complete stranger) cried through the whole thing. So did I.

he's a merman/eternally/doesn't need something you're not willing to give... strange thoughts passing from my mind, why he doesn't need it? mermans and mermaids has no sexual organs... so she will be safe with him.
who could ever say you're not simply wonderful/who could ever harm you... a lullaby indeed.
